Looks like I will be going down to Maryland this weekend and I think I will bring the TM along and maiden there with my dad who learned to fly in the real thing, hist training was in a TM also with a silver finish! Just need to install the gear strut fairings and replace my temporary fin markings: After doing a little research on marking and placement I noticed that most Moths with markings similar to the ones that come with the kit have the...

The hawks came over and took a look, I had...

Looks great TM and hope the weather is good for you. That should be pretty neat your father gets to watch you maiden the TM. Your dad should enjoy the flight, and sure it will stir up some memories for him. Maybe you should let him take it up since he has stick time behind the real deal. then report back on how the flight went. Good luck John

Looks like it is about ready to fly. Paul

The flying that you described that you already do with you SlowStick is a perfect match to the Typhoon's flying capabilities. The Typhoon is not...

To kinda level the playing field, we insist on the stock motor and prop, and only a 3-cell battery. With a Power 10 motor, these things are -awesome-! At this race, a guy with lots of fast pylon experience seldom got above 10 feet during his heats, and actually bounced off the ground on a downwind pass!

Wow this is a nice looking one! Would be fun to fly in a gymnasium.

I pulled a good one this afternoon! I took off(from my street)with what I thought was a fully charged pack.. It wasn't! I had just cleared the first set of trees, and the minimum votage cutoff did it's job! The model went down out of sight and touched down straight and level without hitting anything! Time to go buy a lottery ticket! Randy

It is quite possible that you have come across a poor sim example of this plane.

ok, so I have made a somewhat list of what I am going to use... for servos I am going to use the Hitec (best... brand... EVER!!) HS-81, I already have two... I just need to buy one more... (thanks, NUTs for the servos... and burning out the third one on his spit ) and I will probably go with this inrunner, because the plans call for a brushed 400 speed... and sense the plane was designed around it, its just easier to get an inrunner rather...
